Newfoundland ( and Labrador ) is a province of Canada on the country's Atlantic coast. This eastern–most Canadian province is comprised of two main regions ― the island of Newfoundland off the country’s eastern coast, and Labrador on the mainland to the northwest of the island. The province is often referred to by the acronym « NL ». The population is greater than 500,000, and the capital city is Saint John’s.

There are five principal Environmental–Terror–Organizations operating in Newfoundland ― ● Canadian Cancer Society ● NL Environment Network ● NL Lung Association ● New Democratic Party ( the POLITICAL SHIELD for the Environmental–Terror–Movement) ● NL Medical Association.

Many municipalities have voluntary bans on the use of cosmetic pesticides, but a COALITION of [ Enviro–Terror ] organizations is now pressing the provincial government to make mandatory PROHIBITION the law of the land.

[ Enviro–Maniac ] Dr. IAN SIMPSON has been advocating the stance for years and is a member of the NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR COALITION ON PESTICIDES [ an Environmental–Terror–Organization ].

While some municipalities, including CORNER BROOK, request citizens use more natural ways to keep their lawns and gardens free of bothersome insects and weeds, there are still lots of people who opt for chemical controls.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The needless prohibition of LEGAL, SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE conventional pest control products appear to favour some questionable alternative products. The so–called Lower–Risk Alternatives but BOGUS Green Alternatives that Enviro–Maniac–Activists are proposing to replace conventional pest control products are NOT all as low risk or non–toxic as some people assume them to be. Nor are these products as efficient or efficacious as we are being led to believe. Many of the BOGUS Green Alternatives are supplied by the very Environmental–Terror–Organizations that sought prohibition.

-------------------------------

There are parameters in terms of wind and humidity levels which are supposed to be adhered to when spraying pesticides, but [ Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON doesn’t believe those standards are always followed accurately.

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON ―

« I would say about 80 or 85 per cent of what’s sprayed ends up going on other people’s property or in the water supply. » [ Wrong ! ]

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―There are NO Enviro–Maniac–Scientists with recognized expertise, training, or background, in matters concerning pest control products.

-------------------------------

[ According to David Suzuki Foundation, an Environmental–Terror–Organization ], there are more than 6,000 CASES OF PESTICIDE POISONINGS [ ?!?!?! ] reported to poison control centres in CANADA each year.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The great majority of poisonings involve stored products in the home, and NOT sprayed dilute applications !

-------------------------------

Children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, according to the [ Enviro–Terror ] COALITION, while pesticides can cause immediate physical reactions for people living with lung disease such as asthma. [ Wrong ! ]

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

Enviro–Maniac–Activists heard using the above HOLLOW and DESPICABLY ALARMIST expressions concerning children and pregnant women DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ! Overall, Enviro–Maniac opinions are VALUELESS and WORTHLESS in matters concerning pest control products.

-------------------------------

The chemical industry would argue there is no hard evidence to support a ban, but SIMPSON said such proof can only be obtained by unethically exposing a group of people to chemicals for an extended period of time to see how they are affected. [ Perhaps Simpson would like to offer himself as volunteer. ]

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON ―

« There are[ alleged ]significant long–term effects of steady, constant exposure, so why not cut it down significantly where we can ? » [ Wrong ! ]

« If there are[ Enviro–Maniac ]concerns about the rising cancer rate, then this is one area where we can do something about it. » [ Wrong ! ]

Municipalities have told the [ Enviro–Terror ] COALITION they DO NOT have the LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY to outright ban the use of cosmetic pesticides.

There are already province–wide bans in QUEBEC and ONTARIO, and it looks as though similar laws will soon be in place in BRITISH COLUMBIA and NEW BRUNSWICK.

The ministers responsible for health and the environment, according to SIMPSON, have agreed to meet with the COALITION, though no time has been set, while members of the Opposition have agreed to meet some time in the next week or so.

N.D.P. leader [ and Enviro–Maniac ] LORRAINE MICHAEL has already taken a public stand on the need for a ban.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

An N.D.P. leader supporting prohibition is hardly a surprise. NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY ( N.D.P. ) is the POLITICAL SHIELD for the Environmental–Terror–Movement ! Federally and provincially, this contemptible political party has always supported the prohibition of FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACABLE pest control products.

-------------------------------

Like the fight to have stricter controls over tobacco products, [ Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON anticipates the effort to institute a ban on pesticides will be a drawn–out battle.

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON ―

« It’s a very powerful industry. The chemical industry is closely linked to the petroleum industry because a lot of these chemicals are derivatives from oil. » [ Wrong ! ]

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

SIMPSON is an Enviro–Maniac–Health–Care–Worker with NO recognized expertise, training, or background, in matters concerning pest control products. Overall, the opinions of SIMPSON are VALUELESS and WORTHLESS in matters concerning pest control products.

-------------------------------

In the meantime, it is left to individuals to decide whether or not they will use cosmetic pesticides.

The more people opt not to and become more concerned about the issue, said SIMPSON, the better chance government will listen to them.

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] SIMPSON ―

« There are individuals and groups who have been working on this issue over many years, but now we have a real coming together of different voices. We can all contribute to this momentum and bring about positive change [ ?!?!?! ]. »

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

Positive change for whom ? The NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS prohibition of pest control products leads to LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting TERROR, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION on THOUSANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. ]

Enviro–Maniac Internet Commentary

I am disappointed with CHARLENE JOHNSON, provincial minister of the Environment, who will not speak out against pesticide use and who will not lobby government to ban their use. She keeps saying that they are safe if used as directed.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

Conventional pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE ! Overall, when they are used properly, there are NO harmful irreversible effects to health and the environment !

-------------------------------

If pesticides are so safe, I wonder would Ms. JOHNSON go on the six o'clock news on TV, mix up a glass of pesticide by following the directions on the packaging, and then drink a glass of that in front of TV viewers ? [ ?!?!?! ]

Enviro–Maniac Internet Commentary

K. Jean Cottam from Ottawa, Ontario, writes ―

I am honorary Canadian observer on the U.S. Pesticide Working Group.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

There is NO such group. Cottam is a mere non–credited member of a U.S. Environmental–Terror–Organization called BEYOND PESTICIDES !

-------------------------------

A retired intelligence analyst [ a mere government translator ! ] , I am also a homeowner with an unsprayed, weed–free lawn [ that looks like a GARBAGE DUMP ].

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

MISS KAZIMIERA JEAN COTTAM is merely an 80–YEAR–OLD divorced chronologically–gifted octogenarian. Sadly, because of her age and diminished capacity, Environmental–Terror–Activists have been using MISS KAZIMIERA as « cannon fodder » for several years. For the most part, her letters are scripted by others, such as the Enviro–Ghost–Writer MEG SEARS. MISS KAZIMIERA‘s target newspapers are even chosen for her.

For example, 2,4–D was one of the two components of Agent Orange. [ So what ?! ]

Both components were contaminated by own, deadly dioxin. [ Dioxins were an issue 25 years ago ! ]

The industry still denies this was the case and blames the toxicity of Agent Orange on the now banned component, thus unjustifiably exonerating 2,4–D. [ Agent Orange itself was NEVER a problem ! ]

I happen to have whistle blower data on 2,4–D dioxin, provided by a scientist employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [ Then publish the information, or stop inventing unconfirmed stories ! ]

After the war ended, the industry was stuck with huge supplies of these poisons. [ The inventory was created as a result of policies imposed by environmental terrorists ! ]

A way had to be found to dispose of them.

This was the origin of the cosmetic use of herbicides. [ Wrong ! ]

Before WWII, from times immemorial, lawns were maintained in a satisfactory condition without the use of any pesticides, a general category including all the « cides » ! [ Wrong ! ]

MISS KAZIMIERA, and her Enviro–Maniac–Ghost–Writers, routinely concoct NON–EXISTENT danger with conventional pest control products and SCAM and DECEIVE the public by blurting out HOLLOW and DESPICABLY–ALARMIST expressions like « cancer » and « children at risk » ! The allegations of MISS KAZIMIERA and her Ghost–Writers care virtually always wrong.

-------------------------------

Children are especially vulnerable.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

Enviro–Maniacs DESPICABLY use children as « the ultimate weapon of terror » against the Green Space Industry !

It is an ENVIRO–MYTH to believe that children and pregnant women ARE NOT taken into account when pest control products are registered in Canada. According to HEALTH CANADA’S respected PEST MANAGEMENT REGULATORY AGENCY (P.M.R.A.) ― « [E]xtra safety factors were applied to the no effect level identified in animal toxicity studies to protect population groups, such as children and pregnant women, that may be more susceptible to the potential effects of pest control products. This resulted in reference doses that were 300– to 1000–fold lower for these groups for these sensitive groups, which are more protective than the minimum 100–fold safety factor. Thus, products will not be considered acceptable for continued registration unless the estimated human exposure is at least 300 times to 1000 times less than the level at which there were no observed effects in the studies examined. These levels ensure the most sensitive population groups ― children and pregnant women ― ARE PROTECTED. »

-------------------------------

When they walk beside a recently sprayed lawn, the residues of the chemicals or their breakdown products go directly to their brains, bypassing the liver which is the cleansing organ. [ Wrong ! ]

When 2,4–D is used in combinations with mecoprop and dicamba, the ingredients are tested separately, even though a mutually reinforcing effect is suspected. [ Wrong ! ]

Only the so–called active portion is tested, the formulant, alleged to be inert, is not tested. [ Wrong ! ]

The formulant's assumed inertness is now being questioned [ ?!?!?! ], increasing as it does the effectiveness of the applied mixture. [ It is being questioned only by environmental terrorists ! ]

Group Urges Citizens To Take Action On Cosmetic Pesticide Use

July 15th, 2009

The Telegram

The [ Environmental–Terror–Organization ] NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR COALITION ON PESTICIDES says that without legislation to protect people’s health and the environment from cosmetic pesticide use, individuals can make a difference by choosing not to use pesticides.

[ Enviro–Maniac ] EMMA HOUSSER, coalition spokesperson and policy analyst for the [ Contemptible and Radical ] CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY in the province, said people should talk to friends, family, and neighbours about the issue.

[ Enviro–Maniac ] HOUSSER said residents should also let their MHAs [ Members of Newfoundland House of Assembly ] and cabinet ministers know that legislation is needed.

QUEBEC was the first SIX YEARS AGO and ONTARIO's new act came into effect THREE MONTHS AGO. Many other provinces are currently developing legislation.

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] GREG NOEL, director of environmental initiatives for the Newfoundland and Labrador LUNG ASSOCIATION [ another Environmental–Terror–Organization ] ―

« In all of these cases, the impetus for change comes from concerned citizens who believe that the health of their children, pets, neighbours, and natural world is more important than having a perfect lawn. It's our shared responsibility and we can make a difference. »

Additionally, pesticides can cause immediate physical reactions for people living with lung disease such as asthma. [ Publish your findings ! ]

What Is Government Doing To Protect Our Health And Environment From Cosmetic Pesticide Use ?

June 9th, 2009

Enviro–Maniac Media Release

The following news release has been issued on behalf of the [ Enviro–Terror ] PROVINCIAL COALITION ON PESTICIDES.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

This is an Environmental–Terror–Organization spreading terror and paranoia ! A group that has absolutely NO expertise in matters pertaining to pest control products !

-------------------------------

The time has come for our provincial government to explain why it is not acting to protect its citizens' health and environment from the unnecessary risks posed by the cosmetic use of toxic pesticides, say members of a large and growing coalition of [ Environmental–Terror–Activists ] and concerned citizens.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

Conventional pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE ! Overall, when they are used properly, there are NO harmful irreversible effects to health and the environment !

« The scientific basis of concern[ ?!?!?! ] is well established [ ?!?!?! ], and the precautionary principle places the onus on our government to explain why they are not acting to protect us. »

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The concerns ONLY originate from environmental terror groups that persist in maintaining paranoia about matters they know nothing about !

-------------------------------

The [ Environmental–Terror–Organization ] DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION estimates that more than 6,000 CASES of pesticide poisonings in Canada are reported to poison control centres each year — nearly half involving children under the age of six.

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The great majority of poisonings involve stored products in the home, and NOT sprayed dilute applications !

« Pesticide use — including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides — also negatively impacts our water, soil, and air quality, and the health of other species, most notably bees and birds. » [ Wrong ! ]

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] Dr. ELIZABETH CALLAHAN, president of the NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR MEDICAL ASSOCIATION [ another Environmental–Terror–Organization ] ―

« One critical component is a government–lead public education program to increase awareness of the potential risks associated with the cosmetic use of such chemicals, and to promote the many safer alternatives [ ?!?!? ]that exist » [ Wrong ! ]

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The needless prohibition of LEGAL, SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE conventional pest control products appear to favour some questionable alternative products. The so–called Lower–Risk Alternatives but BOGUS Green Alternatives that Enviro–Maniac–Activists are proposing to replace conventional pest control products are NOT all as low risk or non–toxic as some people assume them to be. Nor are these products as efficient or efficacious as we are being led to believe. Many of the BOGUS Green Alternatives are supplied by the very Environmental–Terror–Organizations that sought prohibition.

-------------------------------

The majority of CANADIANS now enjoy the health and environmental benefits of [ NEEDLESS and SENSELESS PROHIBITION ] protection by provincial legislation.

QUEBEC was the first province to introduce a ban on lawn pesticides in 2003.

ONTARIO’s new COSMETIC PESTICIDES BAN ACT, prohibiting the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides, entered into force in APRIL [ 2009 ] of this year.

ALBERTA, B.C., P.E.I., NOVA SCOTIA and NEW BRUNSWICK are all moving on this issue.

« The cosmetic use of pesticides across the country has declined over the past decade, yet in Newfoundland and Labrador its use has more than doubled. »

-------------------------------

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ―

The decline has occurred because of policies imposed by Environmental–Terror–Organizations that have conspired to prohibit legal, safe, and irreplaceable pest control products !

-------------------------------

According to [ Deceitful–Enviro–Maniac ] IAN SIMPSON, member of an Enviro–Maniac club in the Corner Brook area ―

« We feel it is past time for our province to do the same to protect the health of our citizens. »

The [ Enviro–Terror ] COALITION is calling for strong leadership from our Premier, and from the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Department of Health and Community Services, to address this critical issue in an effective manner without further delay.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Organization Responding Against Huje that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a series of e–newsletters destined for the Green Space Industry, the Environmental Terror Movement, Governments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the United States, and overseas. The information presented in Force Of Nature has been developed for the education and entertainment of the reader by providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY.

Huje is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDULENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRACIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing that families are in some NON–EXISTENT danger with conventional pest control products. Huje also SCAM and DECEIVE Government Officials into the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS prohibition of FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE conventional pest control products.

All information, excerpts, and pictures contained in this document were found somewhere on the Internet, and may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive, education, promotion, publicity, or press release. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this document are not always fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental. Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or business operating within the Green Space Industry. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.

Force Of Nature is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. Mr. Gathercole is a principal FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Industry, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in public affairs, workplace safety, and environmental compliance. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, programmed, and/or overseen the successful and safe execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control applications in the urban landscape. He has trained, instructed, and consulted with THOUSANDS of turf managers and technicians. Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agronomist. For many years, Mr. Gathercole was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority. Mr. Gathercole is now retired from Force Of Nature, although his name continues to appear as the founder. Mr. Gathercole is personally credited for crafting the Golf Industry Exception Status, that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now used for posting after application. His vast knowledge of our long journey with Environmental Issues is UNDENIABLE ― hopefully ! For FIFTEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the control of Environmental Terror for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Mr. Gathercole’s involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec. Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair.

Mr. Gathercole and his entourage have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quarter century. Through Force Of Nature, Enviro Maniac Activist Huje are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Maniac Culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or Basterd are not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac Activists accountable for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space Industry. Their pretentious prohibitionist rants have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION for THOUSANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Maniac Culprit Terrorist Basterd Huje is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green Space Industry.

Sunday, May 30, 2010

The GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY ( which includes the GOLF INDUSTRY ) must provide the public with information supporting the idea that its time-honoured turf management practices, also known as « cultural practices », MAY SUPPRESS, but NOT CONTROL the damaging pests of turfgrasses.

These « cultural practices » will NOT effectively and consistently control damaging pests on ESTABLISHED turf.

At best, « cultural practices » MAY provide some LIMITED IMPROVEMENT towards the efficiency and effectiveness of conventional pest control products.

The use of « cultural practices » will NEVER achieve a total reduction or elimination of conventional pest control products necessary for the management of ESTABLISHED turfgrasses.

The term « cultural practices » is often used interchangeably with another term called « Integrated Pest Management », or its acronym « I.P.M. ».

Unfortunately, I.P.M. has been designed to be applicable to the AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY, and NOT the GREEN SPACE ( or GOLF ) INDUSTRY.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The Failure of Integrated Pest Management

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT is a FAILURE and a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY for the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY.

Adopting I.P.M. ACCOMPLISHES VIRTUALLY NOTHING.

Unfortunately, I.P.M. DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY CONTROL the pests that damage established turf.

Furthermore, I.P.M. WILL NOT resolve the public affairs issues concerning the prohibition of pest control products.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The Golf Industry Exception Status

Pest control products are being PROHIBITED in many jurisdictions across Canada.

The GOLF INDUSTRY currently enjoys a PROHIBITION EXCEPTION STATUS in several jurisdictions across Canada.

It is ironical that both the GOLF INDUSTRY and the Modern PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY use the SAME ingredients that are needed to control insect and weed pests.

In the PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, a requirement for the GOLF INDUSTRY PROHIBITION EXCEPTION STATUS is the submission of an ANNUAL REPORT that must be prepared by individual golf clubs.

According to the ONTARIO MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT ―

« Annual Report. Owner/operators will be required to prepare an annual report disclosing the locations and amounts of pesticides used on the golf course. [ ... The golf course ... ] must provide an explanation of how maintaining accreditation by the IPM body minimized the use of the pesticide ingredients on the golf course and how it will minimize the use during the next year. »

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Golf Industry Policy

Here are excerpts from a GOLF INDUSTRY publication regarding INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, which was published by the CANADIAN GOLF SUPERINTENDENTS ASSOCIATION ( C.G.S.A. ) ― [ Item 4.2.3, Board of Directors Meeting, February 28th – March 1st, 2007. ]

These organisms are ALMOST ALWAYS present in nature, since they can live in dead plants, decaying organic matter, and the soil.

When environmental conditions are favourable for disease development, some diseases can be devastatingly lethal to golf courses, sports fields, and even residential home lawns.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Occurrence of Turfgrass Diseases

Turfgrass disease problems can be an OVERWHELMING CHALLENGE, particularly in the Golf Industry.

There are OVER THREE DOZEN different diseases that can damage turfgrasses across Canada.

The implementation of changes in the practices of managing established turfgrasses may suppress the incidence of damaging disease organisms, but, overall, will not provide adequate control, which often can only be achieved with conventional disease–control products.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
